Cacao Nut No Bake Bites

FROZEN NO BAKE BITES to the rescue! These little gems save me on car rides, at endless sports tournaments, packed into lunches for a treat or a quick after-school snack. (Sometimes they help me out when I’m needing something sweet but don’t want to steal my kids’ candy—because that’s wrong, Right?).

Ingredients:

1 cup cacao nibs

1 cup raw almond butter (can split 1/2 nut butter, 1/2 nuts)

10 medjool dates, pitted

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp cayenne (optional)

a pinch of sea salt

Place all the ingredients in a food processor. Pulse to combine well.

Then, gather:

1 -2 T coconut oil (warm it, so liquid)

Shredded, unsweetened coconut

Drizzle coconut oil into the processor, a little at a time, and pulse until combined. If mixture is too sticky to form into balls, allow it to rest in the freezer 10-15 mins.
